There's a number of ways that you can get in contact with me If you want more business help with your football coaching business now today what I want to do is I want to share with you three reasons why the Block booking system Doesn't work for football coaches anymore now. I speak to coaches every single day in our industry some coaches are starting their business other coaches are looking to grow and something that I see That is very common is 99% of all coaches that I speak to and not only just here in the UK But in the US in Canada in Australia the way they're running their their business is through block bookings So if you're a one one-to-one trainer and you're running one-on-one coaching Service if you're running a one-on-one coaching service Then what I want you to do is I want you to take notes of what I'm about to share with you today Because I know it will hit home But also it will make you realize that I need to make changes Okay, as a business owner We are constantly looking to learn we are constantly looking to grow and If you feel that there's a system such as this block booking system that isn't working anymore then it's a good time now to then change it and Implement a system or a business model that will work right and I can help you with this I've been helping coaches for a very long time with this so getting contact me description below number of ways You can reach out so the first one is The problem with block book a block booking system is you have a tendency inconsistency now what coaches who run a Block booking system think is that their customers or their clients are going to consistently show up Every time per week right once a week. They're going to be there They'll do that. They'll do the training session and they'll complete that training session for that week, but What a lot of coaches come across is that they might be weeks where? Things happen parents can't make it to the session players get injured and What tends to happen is those block bookings that were five sessions Then end up dragging because of rescheduling Now if your clients fail to attend the block booking then your sessions could go on for Two months three months until those five sessions are complete, right? So if you're selling a block of five sessions That ultimately means that your your players are going to be training with you for five weeks If your players attend every single training session Now say they come to the first two and then for whatever reason they don't attend the next two three weeks because of You know, it could be a personal matter. It could be an injury It could be an illness it could be anything in your sessions of now and now that block booking instead of It being a five-week block booking now it's going to turn into a longer block booking right and The reason why this is going to have an impact on you is because that's going to prevent you working with other customers in the following month or You're going to be fully booked working with players That already on those old block bookings. Okay, so if you want to make sure getting contact with me There's a number of ways I can help you to transition from this So you avoid this problem, right? The second one is you're continuously Selling your services, right? So if you offer a block of five to ten sessions then when those sessions run out you're then having to sell yourself again to that parent and That is something that a lot of coaches don't like doing but coaches don't like selling themselves to parents Because they they don't see it as part of the coaching But if you're running a business then you have to learn how to market promote and sell So there's a number of ways you can do this Where you're not having to sell yourself continuously But if you're running block bookings, then what happens is at the end of that five sessions Then you're going to have to call up mrs. Jones or text mrs. Jones And try to sell her on Another five or ten week block booking Right, we want to see if we can transition away from that and implement a newer type of system where we're not continuously selling ourselves every five to ten weeks Right now the third problem with a block booking system is lack of commitment right At the moment 99 of all football trainers Football coaches who are running coaching businesses They the norm is to off our block bookings, right now That is a model where I feel is quite old, right? It's it's it's very old. It's very out of fashion and also it's a model that doesn't Allow commitments to be created Right, if you speak to the most successful trainers in our industry Then you they will tell you that the most important part of their business is client retention, right? So holding on to clients for long now A block booking of five sessions ten sessions ultimately means and what parents Mentally picture in their head is that right after those five to ten sessions? I'm then free to go and look for another trainer now Yes Whatever model you implement into your business your parents your clients are going to have that freedom to go and look for someone else but how about implementing a system where you're getting your customers to commit for longer Like because ultimately what you're then telling the the the client or the parent is that if you want to get good results With our training with our coaching Then you have to be committed for longer Right, we aren't going to get results in five ten weeks The process requires longer. So if they if they're willing to commit for longer Means that they're a good customer and also they're invested in what you're doing Which ultimately means that in the long term they will become a good client and hopefully They'll refer other like-minded parents into your business right, so I feel and this is just a personal Opinion is that the the five to ten sessions block bookings is something that For for parents they treat it more as a taster session right because really and truly you can't I don't believe you can transform a footballer In that short period of time Okay, and ultimately that's the industry we're in we're in a results-based industry. We've got to get results with the players That we're working with So if you want to get better results if you want to get more committed customers clients in your business You have to find ways to get them to stay with you for longer and not just five to ten weeks Okay, so again if you need any help with this reach out to me This is pretty much what I do every single day Speak with coaches connect with coaches And working with coaches so reach out to me There's a number of ways I can help you to create a more sustainable System within your business, right?
